Madonna, accompanied by her 13-year-old daughter Lourdes, visited Malawi to break ground for her upcoming academy for girls in a village called Lilongwe.

“Growing up in a privileged life, I took education for granted…but coming to Malawi has taught me a lot of things and (I have) learned to appreciate what life gives,” Madonna said.

“I realized how much they deserve to be educated and so for me the best thing I could do was to build a school, a unique school that will create future female leaders, scientists, lawyers, doctors and if this school is successful it will be used as a model to replicate it in other countries.”

The school, costing US$15 million, will admit 500 girls.

Actress Charlize Theron raised over US$140,000 for charity – by kissing the winning bidder, a woman, reports Hollywood celebrity gossip news rumors site USmagazine.

The auction took place at a gala for the charity OneXOne in San Francisco where Charlize Theron initially offered a 2010 trip to South Africa that included World Cup tickets, a safari and a meet-and-greet with Nelson Mandela, for which bidding stalled at $37,000, way below the $280,000 actor Jeremy Priven raised.

“For f*** sake! You can do better,” she tells attendees. “There is no way I am leaving here with Jeremy Piven getting a higher bid. I’ve got t**** for God’s sake.” She sweetened the deal by offering a 7-second kiss to a male bidder, saying, “Swine flu is going around. This is high risk kissing!”

After one man bid $135,000, a woman upped the stakes to $140,000 – ascending the stage for a 20-second smooch as the audience counted down.

“My boyfriend is not here tonight,” she joked with the audience. Charlize Theron is in a long term relationship with actor, Stuart Townsend.

Justin Timberlake has a stalker – a 48-year-old female fan, Karen McNeil who has been hanging around Justin’s residence and leaving weird notes for him.

The court granted a restraining order which states that McNeil must stay 100 yards – that’s 91.44 metres for the rest of us in the metric world – away from Justin, his home and his car.

Apparently, McNeil is a serial stalker – in 1997, she was found to have violated an order to keep away from Axl Rose of Guns ‘n Roses.
